Burst water pipe stops traffic on A100: traffic jam until the evening!
On Christmas Day there were severe traffic delays on the A100 in western Berlin, which kept drivers on tenterhooks for several hours. The reason for this was a burst water pipe, which not only caused the road to ice up, but also led to a complete closure at the level of the Kaiserdamm. While the highway was closed in both directions, the incident caused immense traffic jams and tested travelers' patience. The police initially did not provide any information about the exact background to the incident, but it led to a massive backlog in the region. Nevertheless, according to the police, the full closure was lifted in the evening and the roads were opened so that travelers in the south direction could drive without restrictions again, while in the north direction at least one lane was open again. However, traffic is backed up beyond the Jakob-Kaiser-Platz exit onto the A111, which made the situation even worse. This information has n-tv compiled.
What else happened on the streets of Berlin? According to the daily traffic reports, there were also significant disruptions on other sections of the A100 from the afternoon onwards. A lane was closed between the Funkturm triangle and Spandauer Damm and the road was narrowed to one lane. Motorists also had to expect further delays in the direction of Wedding, especially between Kaiserdamm and triangle radio tower, where the danger has now been lifted. This is what the current reports say stau.info.
Traffic chaos and traffic jams everywhere
The traffic jams were not just limited to the A100, but also spread across various streets in Berlin. Frankfurter Allee and the A114 in the direction of Pankow were particularly affected, with waiting times of up to 45 minutes according to the traffic information center. There was also a further delay on the B1/B5 in Biesdorf, where a burst water pipe also disrupted traffic. Drivers had to expect at least 20 minutes more travel time.
At the same time, the A10 towards Frankfurt (Oder) experienced delays of up to 60 minutes. Loud Daily Mirror Accidents and the associated barriers were also the main causes of the traffic chaos. Anyone traveling on this holiday had to be patient and be prepared for unexpected waiting times.”
So many drivers had no choice but to wait in the starting blocks and accept the entire situation calmly. We can only hope that the next holidays will be without such disruptions!
